Reviews for Borla ATAK® 2.5" Dual Axle Back Exhaust for 18-20 Jeep Wrangler JL 3.6L

Fits well. Tips are big enough without being oversized. Nice sound idling and under acceleration. Most importantly no significant resignation at highway speeds when in 8th gear. Drove me nuts with my other exhaust. Fitment was great and generally well constructed.

Reinforcing the previous reviews. Very well packaged, easy install, and it's got that slight growl to it. Love the look.

Reviews seem good, aggressive sound.

Sounds great and install was very easy. 2 guys and a wrench set..done.

Extremely happy with this purchase! I initially decided to go with the Magnaflow exhaust because of the majority of good reviews for my 2020 JL Rubicon, but after installing the exhaust it hugged the rear bumper extremely tight. In addition to bad fitment, the sound (while deep) was not much louder than the stock exhaust. That said, I ended up returning it and going with the exhaust I had initially picked out (Borla Atak Axle Back), which I couldn't be more pleased with. The sound and fit is perfect. Not too loud, and no groan when cruising, but when you get on the gas you know its there (and so does everyone in the vicinity). Exactly what I was after! Also, worth mentioning is how well they package it when compared to Magnaflow. The Magnaflow came in a box almost 3x the size of the exhaust, allowing it to flow all around in transit (Possibly the reason for my bad fitment), but Borla packs it very nice and secure (no movement). And it even comes with your very own Borla hat:)

After asking the helpful staff at Quadatec whether or not this exhaust would fit into a RHD export JL (Australia) I took the plunge and ordered one. It came with relatively no issue via post. Installation was simple with few hand tools and Elbow grease to get the stock exhaust off. I couldn’t be happier with how to turned out. Deep exhaust note without being obnoxious.

I installed this exhaust with the K&N 63 Series AirCharger Intake a while ago and I love both the performance and aggressive sound gained from adding both!

Only thing disappointing about this exhaust is the price. No issues with install, packaging was done very well and even included a black Borla hat. I drive a manual transmission and love the sound during deceleration. It’s advertised as the loudest street legal exhaust, but it’s not obnoxious.

Overall quite pleased with the exhaust, but I reserve 5/5 reviews for near perfection and most things are not quite that.

The fitment out of the box wasn't 100% perfect. My passenger side exhaust tip hangs ever so slightly lower than the driver's side. Many people won't notice this or care, but I like to make mention of it. Could fairly easily be bended into a perfect shape. For a made in the USA part from a reputable manufacturer, I'd like 100% perfect.

Sound overall is a mixed bag. On the "Jeep scale" it's a 5/5 exhaust sound at full throttle. But there's limits to how good you can make a Pentastar sound with just an axle-back exhaust. Overall scale I'd put more at a 3.5/5. Obviously a massively subjective rating, but it feels bad that my old Fiat 500 Abarth with an engine and price tag nearly 1/3 the size of my Jeep sounds quite a bit better. If all you want is noise, it definitely delivers. If you want more "definition" with subtle exhaust sounds and burbles they don't come through much. Downshifts and throttle blips with the manual transmission sound pretty limp overall.

The exhaust gets a 5/5 for "daily livability." At low RPM and throttle input (specifically around 1500 RPM) the exhaust is nearly silent. You can cruise through neighborhoods at 2AM and not harass the public. Then when you want it you can nail it and it sounds monstrous. I haven't done much high-speed highway driving with it yet, but judging from how silent it is at low RPM/throttle and how much road/wind noise you get from a Jeep on the highway I doubt it's an issue.

Exhaust was easy to install with simple tools. No drilling required, no welding, everything fit perfectly. My only concern was the sound, i did think it was going to be a little on the louder side. but, now after a week, i’m used to the sound and glad its not obnoxiously loud. On the plus side, i did notice a slight increase in smiles per gallon and throttle response.
